RunnbIIngs of War.

LONDON, April 9th.-It is no longer posi-
BILE to overlook the fact that in the war
scare which has been reviving for days
past, foreign correspondents have been re-
porting occurrences and opinions unim-
portant separately, but which taken to-
gether are creating fresh alarm here. The
explosion of Antoine, the tearing up of the
Imperial flag by Alsatian recruits and the
imprisonment of French sympathizers has
caused strong feeling.
The Paris correspondent of the "Stand-
ard" telegraphs this morning that the fear
in well-infermed quarters there is, that
Bismarck, having made sure that Russia
can't move for the present, thinks it
better for Germany to fight now than
later. -
Attention has been drawn to this condi-
ton of affairs by the fact that the Devon
port dockyard authorities received
orders that three of the six fastest
and most powerful torpedo cruisers build
ing for the Government, were to be got
ready fo- sea with all dispatch, without
waiting final trials of their machinery. It

Venezuela reports three British men-of-
war in the harbOr of Puento Caballo, the
port of Caracas, the Venezuelan capital
The British Minister has left the capita
and is on board one OF the war ships. The
diplomatic relations between the British
and Venezuelan Governments have been
severed. The complications are due to
the imprisonment of English sailors and
citizens in 1888 without just cause, inter
mixed with the question of boundaries be-
tween British Guinea and Venezuela. The
Royal mail steamer has been dispatched to
one of the British islands for troops

The habitable earth must become one
holy land, every city Jerusalem. every
house a temple, every table an
altar, every person priest of

way In which he presented his views

THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH.
Points From DR.. Lewinthals Lee
ture Last Night on the Import
ant Subject.

ant subject.
There was a large attendance of the
congregation OF Temple Beth FL at the
usual Friday evening service, and many
Christians and others attended to listen
to the Opening of series OF lectures up
on 1.-THE Coming Of the Messiah" 1t Is
generally known that the Jewish views
upon that subject are not well under
stood, and the studious and curious
were glad to have Rabbi Lewinthal's
definstion of what is believed by that
body.
After the usual devotional exercise
and excellent singing Of the choir.
Rabbi Lewinthal commenced his lecture,
which was certainly well delivered. The
LIGHT has not the space at its disposal
to publish the entire lecture but there
are certain definite statements therein
that should be widely known.
Speaking of the coming Of the Messiah
DR.. Lewinthal said: judaism has long
since discarded the idea Of the coming
of a personal Messiah. A Messiah was
looked for by the oppressed and down
trOdden, to whom deliveranee from any
source wss a welcome and cheering
boom"
The lecturer then disposed of another
popular Idea, !. g, that prior to the
coming of the Messiah the Jews will
return to Palestine, repopulate that
country and bring 1t to Its primal great
ness. On that point he said:
The restoration of Palestine has also
been long since discarded and the Israel.
lite Is q citizen of that country in which
he lives and which protects his liberty
and his rights; but all hopes of restora,
ton of Palestine has been discarded by
the modern judaism. We have no hopes
nor aspirations for a political restora-
tiOn, the re-establishment of throne,
or the coming OF redeeming Messiah.
Then he went on to define what
should be understood by the term Mes
siRh and said:
Israel itself, metaphoriOalIy speaking
is the Messiah whom God has destined

New YORK, Oct. 29.-About 10 O'Clock
last night young man aged about q
years, dressed In the garb of American
district telegraph messenger, presented
himself at the residence Of Joseph
Wechler, of the dry goods firm Of
Weohler d Abrahams, Brooklyn. To
servant who opened the door he
handed small package addressed to MIR.
Wheeler The package was carried to
Mrs. Wechler and che attempted 20
open it, when there was a sudden explo-
sion and she sprang to her feet scream
ing with pain, while her boy joined
with her in his Streams. The servants
rushed into the room and found Mrs.
Wechler In terrible condition. Her
face and hands were badly lacerated and
she was almost blinded. Her boy was
Keeling about the floor In agony. An
examination showed that the face
of Mrs. Mechler and her son were filled
with small pieces Of metal, which had
been driven into them by the force of
the explosion, but the boy, while pain
fully hurt, ia not considered to be In any
danger. In Mrs. Wechler's case, IL Is
feared that lOck-jaw may SET in, and that
her death is certain. A most careful
and minute examination failed to disclose
any trace OF the explosive, and the po-
lice are unable to say or even to guess
what 1t was. There was no sign Of any
machinery TO have worked an explosion.
The only reasonable ex Jlanation offered
was that some kind OF chemical COM
pound had been used which, while Occu-
plying a small space, has a tremendous
force and is exploded by slight friction.
